A Little Christmas Magic

Illuminated handmade pine Christmas tree with a blue-and-white base against a neutral studio background

I designed and built this little Christmas tree from solid pine using my own interlocking design and concealed wooden peg construction. No screws, MDF, particleboard, or manufactured wood.

I wanted to create something a little different from the usual Christmas decorations—something with an interesting shape that looks good from every angle.

The tree is hand-painted in deep forest green with a snowy blue-and-white base. I added a strand of warm-white fairy lights for a little Christmas glow. The lights are easily removable, so the tree can be displayed with or without them.

It's a one-of-a-kind piece, designed and built entirely by hand. A little Christmas decoration with some unexpected craftsmanship hiding inside.
